For Immediate Publication. According to a report disseminated by the International Committee against Execution, in addition to Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, at least 21 others in the Islamic Republic's prisons are living with the nightmare of a stoning conviction. At any moment, their sentences could be implemented.

Ireland, by its very nature, should become a model of tolerance and intellect for the rest of the world...afterall....no one else is doing it...the market for tolerance and real intellect is WIDE OPEN...with electronic security and a little know-how the crime can be squashed and the profits can be enormous, all the while setting an example for the world about what freedom means. read full story / add a comment

Would you like to be fed 3 quarters of your body weight every day? Didn't think so! This is what ducks and geese have to endure every day on foie gras farms - which is why these farms are banned in Ireland. So why isn't there a law against foie gras imports? Join us on Saturday - let's get it out of Dublin's restaurants! read full story / add a comment

For too long the Irish people have had to settle for excuses when we seek answers from our government. Not once have we gotten a straight or wholly truthful answer. We ask why it is that the people that are most affected by the recession are punished while those that presided over it, those that perpetrated it, get off with a slap on the wrist. read full story / add a comment

international / rights, freedoms and repression / press release Thursday August 12, 2010 00:27 by Anthony Ravlich
Because of human rights omission New Zealand has suffered major social problems, some social statistics worse than other countries, at the bottom of the social scale but it is hidden from mainstream New Zealanders. Fear is pervasive and there is a sense of hoelessness which is holding back progress and adaptation to global changes. A focus on the truth rather than power politics and the 'money grab' will help overcome this. It has, in my opinion, modeled itself on the British class system permitting mass social class discrimination. read full story / add a comment

What jumps out at me about the recent report by PNA (Psychiatric Nurses Association) to the Minister of Health is that it underlines a definite antagonism between providers and patients in the mental health services. It conveys graphically and in a rather stock way a strong underlying sense of fear and loathing of mental patients. Undoubtedly relations between patients and nurses can assume knife-edge proportions at times. And it is, as we all know from human experience, at times of heightened tension or drama that basic and fundamental motivation emerges clearly in the spotlight. I believe Mr. Kavanagh (general secretary of PNA) when he says nurses in their hundreds have been injured by patients. I am sure he, too, can remember the names of John Carthy and Anthony Burke. read full story / add a comment |
